Before first use, confirm the filling system supplied with your pen. Do not force a converter or cartridge that does not fit. If you are unsure, contact client care before inking the pen.
Use a fountain-pen ink. Pigmented, shimmer and iron-gall inks can require more frequent cleaning and may be unsuitable for some pens. Flush the nib and feed with clean water when changing ink or storing the pen.
For the brass body and engraved clip, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive polishes, solvent cleaners and prolonged contact with water. The finish is designed to age with use; small marks are part of the material's character.
Store the pen capped, away from direct sunlight and extremes of temperature. If the pen will not be used for several weeks, empty and clean it before storage.
